Too This, Too That

I can't figure out the puzzle, and the puzzle keeps changing. I'm either too experienced, I don't have the experience employers are seeking, or...I'm over-educated, under-linguistic, overweight, over aged, out too long.

An agent told me I had to be willing to accept less in a salary, and when she sent my resume on to a client, the client said that the person they were looking for was not as experienced. Yet, this client had lost their previous employee because he was trying to better himself. He was a recent college graduate. He found a better job. Don't they want someone who will stick around?

I am convinced that feelers are put out to agents, but the client already has someone in mind.

The definition of insanity is trying to do something the same way and getting a different result. I am there, plain and simple. I am frustrated. I don't know what to do.
